Div's impecaable record against AB's

I still think that the current South African rugby talent pool has
enough players that can kick the All Blacks to pieces... Peter De
Villiers beat the All Blacks more times than any coach has ever done. He
has also beaten Australia by 53 - 8 in August 2008. He is one of a few
coaches to win against the All Blacks at the famous house of pain. He
also did it in Wellington. Something only maybe 1% of world rugby
coaches has achieve. And that will never be taken away from him. It will
also take a long time to get rid of that.

Sonny Bill Williams
played for the All Blacks in 2011 and they lost to the Springboks that
year. Savea? Please! He is good but we have a lot of unpicked players
that match.

It is funny that people say that PDV picked a world
cup winning squad and hence he succeeded in his tenure. Well, how was
that world cup winning squad doing against proper opposition? They only
beat England twice in that world cup and that is how they won it. Had
they played Australia or the All Blacks in 2007, I am pretty sure that
they were not going to proceed. The one mistake PDV made was not blood
enough young talent to mix with the old guard. And that is not only his
failure it is also the failure of HM. Or is it maybe the failure of
SARU? Too much talent is left unpicked. How long did it take for Frans
Louw and Duane Vermeulen to be regular Springboks? Peter de Villiers
should have picked Duane Vermeulen a long time ago. There are many other
players who are not picked but hey.
